may claim to have a right to freeze or to enforce a set-off as to decedent's assets in BECU accounts. I don't believe commercial banks enjoy the same right. The right of set-off might put BECU in a "secured-creditor" status. Secured creditor status would
allow BECU to ignore the mailed NTC and to verify their offset claim. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Possibly that would explain the BECU request for letters and death certificate. This happed with an unfortunate result some year back with one of my probate matters where decedent left a $16K BECU share account
but also had a secured debt held by BECU. I don't recall whether that was a BECU notice/deed of trust or a BECU credit card debt. The share account was decedent's only liquid asset other than equity in decedent's personal residence real property. That cient
needed some of the cash from the BECU account to make the decedent's residence marketable, in which event both the estate and BECU would have benefitted. There would have been a modest surplus to the estate. The PR client (a sole adult child beneficiary)
did not have (or did not want to risk) additional personal funds to make the necessary repairs. BECU would not relent. My client, who had traveled from the east coast and paid attorney fees to open the probate, decided to abandon the estate rather than sink
more personal funds into the fiasco. In today's real estate market things might have been different. My take-away has been to warn modest-means clients about this mixed-benefit situation involving credit unions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

testamentary and a photocopy of the death certificate. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

to send this - noncompliant communication - over actually just sending the creditor's claim. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
